DQS vs. Flashkit 3 - finish the fight

[Natsia]

Um, not all halos belong to angels?
Slightly rushed towards the end.



Have You Got it in You?- Imogen Heap

It takes a lot...to be always on form...
It takes a lot.
I maybe not...all the time, all I've got...
Maybe not.

Been one of those days...
Safety first, don't push...what's the hurry?
One nerve remaining, waiting on one look....have you got it?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?

All at once, not a whisper, nor word.
Then all at once...
Let me have it all, let me have a battle on,
Easy target,
Look can we just...just get it over with.
It's getting worse, against all the odds...
It's getting worse.
(Guard down, floor's yours, last man standing can we, just get it over with.)

Been one of those days...
Safety first, don't push...don't push me...what's the hurry?
Cause there's One nerve remaining, waiting on one look,
One look now...have you got it?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?

Blue blue day make me blue...
Head down, quick! Take cover, big girl in a mood.
Blue you, make me anymore blue?
Long spin shout power clean right out of your suit.

One more, one more, one more, one more

Been one of those days...
Safety first, don't push...what's the hurry?
One nerve remaining, waiting on one look...have you got it?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?

[RUSHVision]

Ah, you have surpassed yourself, Nats. Spankin' good job, girl!

Did you draw that chick from scratch or is it from stock?

[Natsia]

Thanks Rush.
Fish-girl is from the sorded recesses of my mind, she was done in Illustrator.
The fish are from a brush pre-set in corel draw, the background from the last drop and lighting effects photoshopped.
Should've done more on the bubble / globe thing, but I didnt want to take too long so posted it.

Idea came from the lyrics to the song I posted.

[littleMatt]

Damn! That's sick Natsia!

Seriously awesome image!

My only nit-pick would be the glow on the raised hairs next to the halo, they distract me from the halo a little bit.

[Natsia]

Thanks Matt, good point on the glow. There was something bothering me there... I was moving the halo all over the place trying to figure out what it was.

Thanks man!

[stonie83]

Thats a sweet comp Natsia... forgive me for intruding everyone. None of you know me yet as im quite new. Just admiring everyones talents

[Natsia]

Welcome to the arena and thanks.
I expect a 10 page essay on who you are, where you hail from and what talents you posses.


That was a joke btw. Some new kids can't tell...

[stonie83]

lol, i havn't written 10 pages since university! I dont even know if im that interesting lol! Although a joke i probably should let everyone know im freelance web designer but im really keen to spend more time on creating some nice comps. (Clients permitting!) Never joined a design forum before so you guys are the first. And what a lovely bunch of people you all are Keep up the good work and hopefully i will battle one of you in the near future! This arena deal is a wicked idea!

[Natsia]

Start a battle then man!
Read the FAQ (on the main page in the Arena), make a pic and invite challengers.
Or go have a look at a few of the open battles and start there.

Just... Stay out of the lounge. It's a soul sucking void.
Really.

[RUSHVision]

I'm sure this was unintentional, but I just noticed a very cool perpectual trick that is going on with her face. If you see her mouth as a nose, it looks like she's kind of a wolf-woman, with the shading under the cheeks lending the slight suggestion of a lupine snout. This gives her something of a shamanistic appearance, as if a beautiful woman in restful repose is communing with her spirt guide.

Superbly well done, and congrats on reaching yet another level of artistic expertise.

That's it! Stoke my ego! HARDER! HARDER!

Kidding. God, only thing I hate about arena, compliments.
... Actually compliments in general, I don't take them well.
Thanks again.

The wolf thing is completely unintentional. She's supposed to look like a fishy thing.
Get off the drugs man!

[stonie83]

lol @ Natsia... yeah get off the drugs man. Creative minds are a beautiful thing. Its great how people percieve imagery in a multitude of ways. Thats the beauty of it. (dont do drugs kids... they are naughty, bad! lol!)

[RUSHVision]

That's it! Stoke my ego! HARDER! HARDER!

If it's going to elicit comments like that, I am sorely tempted.

[Natsia]

Down boy! This is a PG forum, don't make me call a mod on you.
Oh, wait.

I love "elicit", such a good word, I haven't heard it in too long.
Hmmm.... Elicit.

Stoney: Please don't lol. You'll force me to use my 1337 r0x0rz 5p33ch on you man! Like omg.
lolz.

[stonie83]

Please don't lol. You'll force me to use my 1337 r0x0rz 5p33ch on you man! Like omg.
lolz.

i dont understand... (lol) ok im done with the lollin. I get into bad habit of putting it after everything i say. sad but true nevertheless.

[Natsia]

Now all we need to do is work on the grammar.

I keed, I keed!
No. I don't.

Any news from DQS? Who's taking the next round? When can we expect a reply?

[lefteyewilly]

nats, i'm going to post yoru image over there so they know they're up.

Awesome vector work nats, love it.

[RUSHVision]

I'm sure they'll lob it back to us within the allotted time frame. Eager little beavers, those DQS folks. You have earned the right to sit back and relax, basking in the magnificence of what you have created. Enjoy this time until once again we must call upon your talents to carry the day for FK.

[silverx2]

im not gonna lie, i was talking to someone about this battle of the sites, and i said "damn i hope nats busts out something amazing" and damned if you didnt just kick this whole battle up a notch. Hopefully those boys over at dqs start putting out some good images now.
